Following a crackdown on illegal immigration, officials in Prince William County in northern Virginia are reporting their numbers reveal a significant decrease in violent crimes committed.
The violent crime rate in Prince William County plummeted 22 percent in 2008, according to new reports.
In recent years, the county had experienced a steady influx of illegal immigrants that led to its development of one of the most aggressive immigration policies in the nation.
The county for a time required all police officers to question all detainees about their immigration status. In 2008 the county loosened the policy to require police officers to only question those taken into custody about their immigrations status.
If someone is found to be in the country illegally, they are sent to local Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.
The policy was changed because county officials feared that lawsuits would result from the former policy.
Last week, Prince William County Police Chief Charlie T. Deane presented the department's 2008 crime statistics, pointing out that the overall crime fell well below the five-year average.
Robbery decreased by 8 percent and aggravated assault fell by 36.5 percent in 2008
